Australia accused of holding ex-US marine in ‘inhumane conditions’

Daniel Duggan, now an Australian citizen, has allegedly been held by Canberra for 115 days without conviction © AFP / STR The family of detained Australian citizen and former US marine Daniel Duggan plans to petition the UN Human Rights Committee to intervene to stop his “inhumane treatment,” his wife, Saffrine Duggan, said in a statement on Sunday, calling the imprisonment of her fighter pilot husband an “affront to Australia’s rule of law.” “The father of six children has been held in a tiny cell in Sydney under extreme conditions without any conviction for 115 days, based on unproven charges from the United States,” she said, adding that he is classified as an “extreme high risk restricted inmate” at the Silverware Correctiona...

Austrian businesses not leaving Russia

Companies have remained despite “unprecedented pressure,” the Russian envoy has said © Getty Images/Westend61 The vast majority of Austrian companies present in Russia continue to operate even in the face of Western sanctions, the Russian ambassador to Vienna, Dmitry Lyubinsky, stated on Friday. Most of the 650 Austrian firms working in the Russian market have stayed, the diplomat said in an interview with RIA Novosti. Lyubinsky noted that entrepreneurs in both countries “are showing great interest in the continuation of mutually beneficial cooperation.” He added that despite facing “unprecedented pressure,” only a “handful” of Austrian companies have opted to leave Russia.

Racist persecution of aborigines in Australia

In sharp contradiction to the Australia of the ‘Crocodile Dundee’ films where all races get along together, personal differences are sorted out in a manly fist fight followed by all having a few jars at the local boozer in some ‘one horse town’, real-life Australia is for the most part a modern imperialist state where nearly 98% of the population are not classified as indigenous (aboriginal) people and a large part of whom view those indigenous people as some mixture of stupid, criminal, obscene drunks who are completely unreliable as workers. You don’t have to travel too far back in history to find the roots of the anti-aborigine feelings and practices which range from the ‘mildly’ intolerant racism through to the extreme racial hatred of white supremacy that is there in...

From Ally to Enemy: Australia Hammers Final Nail in US ‘Deal of the Century’

Abraham Accord signing ceremony in Washington. (Photo: Wikimedia) By Ramzy Baroud US President Donald Trump’s so-called ‘Deal of the Century’ was meant to represent a finality of sorts, an event reminiscent of Francis Fukuyama’s premature declaration of the ‘End of History’ and the uncontested supremacy of western capitalism. In effect, it was a declaration that ‘we’ – the US, Israel and a few allies – have won, and ‘you’, isolated and marginalized Palestinians, lost. The same way Fukuyama failed to consider the unceasing evolution of history, the US and Israeli governments also failed to understand that the Middle East, in fact, the world, is not governed by Israeli expectations and American diktats. The above is a verifiable assertion. On October 17, the A...

An Australian Setback for the Nazi Settler Regime

The city of Jerusalem. (Photo: max_gloin via Pixabay) By Jeremy Salt Two Albaneses made international news in mid-October. One was the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, whose government withdrew Australia’s recognition of West Jerusalem as the zionist settler state’s capital, declared in 2018 by his predecessor, Scott Morrison, to win a seat in forthcoming elections. The zionists were furious, of course. The Australian ambassador to Tel Aviv – once again the settler state’s capital in Australia’s eyes – was called in for a dressing-down. Yair Lapid insists that Jerusalem – all of it – is Israel’s capital., now and forever. Of course, it is not. It is the administrative center of a European colonial settler regime that succeeded in taking over most of Palest...

JULIA CONLEY Anti-nuclear weapons campaigners rebuked the Biden administration on Wednesday over its opposition to Australia's newly announced voting position on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which could signal the country's willingness to sign on to the agreement.

It stressed that this Australian decision supports international and regional efforts aimed at reviving the peace process and negotiations between the Palestinian ...

The Zionist lobby and Labor in Australia

The Israel lobby and Labor in Australia Australia's new Prime Minister opposes BDS and rejects the apartheid label for Israel, but the Israel lobby is still moving right to accommodate the Australian rightwing and nationalists in Israel.

Australia’s Future Fund bans investment in ‘Israeli’ defence contractor over cluster munitions allegations

Norway’s largest pension fund KLP also excludes Israeli defence contractor, Elbit, from its portfolio. Ben Butler and Ben Doherty The Israeli defence contractor Elbit Systems has denied producing cluster munitions after two big investment funds banned investment in the company, saying it was involved with the weapons. Cluster munitions are outlawed under Australian law and an international treaty because of their devastating effect on civilians. Both Australia’s sovereign wealth fund, the $200bn Future Fund, and Norway’s largest pension fund, the $136bn KLP, have banned investment in Elbit over its alleged association with certain weapons. Cluster munitions, which were allegedly used by Russian forces during the invasion of Ukraine, are bombs that contain smal...
